Corrections: October 6, 2013

An article last Sunday about the way in which the legacies of former New York City mayors are affecting the mayoral campaigns of Joseph J. Lhota and Bill de Blasio misidentified the mayor for whom Ester R. Fuchs, a political-science professor, was a special adviser. She assisted Michael R. Bloomberg, not Rudolph W. Giuliani.

•

A museums and galleries listing in the Long Island Calendar in some editions last Sunday misidentified the photographer for the exhibition “Ode to Kodak: past... present... future,” at the Fotofoto Gallery in Huntington. She is Holly Gordon, not Joan Powers.

•

Because of an editing error, a theater review on Page 9 in some editions this weekend refers incorrectly to the principal characters in “The Farm,” at the Penguin Repertory Theater in Stony Point, N.Y. They are Ms. Parker and Mr. Finn, not Mr. Parker and Ms. Finn.

ARTS & LEISURE

An article last Sunday about the 3-Legged Dog theater company, which has overcome many problems because of its technological innovations, gave an incorrect amount from the company for its annual budget. It is $3.5 million, not $2.5 million. The article also misstated part of Aaron Louis’s title when he was with the company. He was producing director, not managing director. The article also misstated the Joyce Theater’s role in the dance-performance piece “Deepest Man,” by James Scruggs. The Joyce is not a producer on the piece, though it is scheduled to run there in May. In addition, the article quoted incorrectly from comments by Kevin Cunningham, 3-Legged Dog’s executive artistic director, about Sid, the three-legged pit bull who inspired the company’s name. He said Sid “became a symbol of persistence of vision in the face of adversity” — not a “perception” of vision. And, finally, an accompanying picture caption misspelled the surname of one of the actors who will appear in the company’s production of “Tyson vs. Ali,” which is coming in January. He is Jon Swain, not Swaine.

An article last Sunday about Elton John, who has a new album out, “The Diving Board,” with his longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin, misspelled the given name of a country-rock musician from the 1960s and 70s. He was Gram Parsons — not Graham — whose musical style Mr. Taupin would sometimes suggest to Mr. John. And the article misstated Mr. John’s surname as Elton at one point.

An article last Sunday about what it takes to sell your home without a broker misspelled the given name of the head of research and communications at Streeteasy.com. She is Sofia Song, not Sophia.

TRAVEL

An article and an accompanying caption on Sept. 22 about pubs on the East Coast patronized by presidents referred incorrectly to the hotel lobby where you can order a drink as, it is said, the petitioners of Ulysses S. Grant did. The Willard InterContinental is on the site of the original Willard Hotel visited by Grant, but the current building was erected in 1901; it is not the case that you can have a drink in the same lobby where Grant had one. In addition, the article referred incorrectly to Dorchester in Massachusetts where the Eire Pub is located. Dorchester is a Boston neighborhood; it is not a city “just outside Boston.”

•

A report in the In Transit column on Sept. 15 about hotels that offer budget-friendly fast-food choices misspelled the name of a pizza delivery service at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, Mich. It is Piezelli’s, not Piezalli’s.

•

An article on Sept. 22 about the rural side of Martha’s Vineyard identified Menemsha incorrectly. It is a village within the town of Chilmark; it is not a town in itself.

•

An article last Sunday about shopping in the Lastarria neighborhood in Santiago, Chile, gave an incorrect phone number for Moda Miniatura, a children’s store. It is 56-2-2664-8178.

•

An article last Sunday about climbing in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains in New Hampshire misstated the seasons of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s eight mountain huts there. Three are self-service from Oct. 19 until May 2, when three more open for self-service; all eight open again with full crews on June 4. It is not the case that all are self-service from Oct. 19 to June 1.

T: TRAVEL

An article on Page 24 this weekend about a cross-country art exhibition involving billboards, using information from the organizers, erroneously includes one artist among the participants. Mickalene Thomas’s work is not in the exhibition.

An article on Page 26 this weekend about Aqua Flor, a perfume atelier in Florence, describes the source of one of the fragrances incorrectly. A flower used in the perfume is a Damascus rose found in Bulgaria, not a “rose from Damascus.”

•

Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Page 82 this weekend with an article about Restoration Hardware omits one of its executives. Besides Gary Friedman, Carlos Alberini is also a co-chief executive; Mr. Friedman is not the sole one.

OBITUARIES

An obituary last Sunday about the Colombian poet and novelist Álvaro Mutis misspelled the paternal surname of a former Colombian dictator. He is Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (not Rosas).

STYLE

The Evening Hours column last Sunday, about the Metropolitan Opera’s opening-night gala on Sept. 23, misidentified two guests pictured with Elaine Wolfensohn. They are Naomi Wolfensohn and Jascha Preuss, not Sara Wolfensohn and Carl Mayer.

•

An article last Sunday about Unreasonable at Sea, a four-month cruise that brought together the founders of tech start-ups, college students and corporate mentors, misidentified one of the companies whose representatives accompanied César Harada and Gabriella Levine, two inventors, on a shore excursion in Barcelona, Spain. It is Apple, not Google.

•

An article last Sunday about college students who live close to home quoted incorrectly from comments by Scotti Parrish, one of the parents interviewed. Dr. Parrish, who teaches at the University of Michigan, said: “I stay home, for instance, on St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t want to see my students vomiting in an alley.” She did not say, “I don’t want to see my students, much less my own kids, vomiting in an alleyway.”

SUNDAY REVIEW

An opinion essay last Sunday about baseball’s place in contemporary culture misstated Major League Baseball’s income. Over the last 20 years its revenues — not profits — have grown to nearly $8 billion from about $1 billion.

•

An opinion article last Sunday, arguing for a Nobel Prize in Literature for Bob Dylan, incorrectly described his health history. While Mr. Dylan was hospitalized in 1997 with pericarditis (inflammation of the sac around the heart) caused by a fungal infection, he is not known to have battled heart disease.

Nicholas D. Kristof’s column last Sunday incorrectly described the global reduction in extreme poverty. In 2010, one in five people in the developing world — not the entire world — lived in extreme poverty, down from about one in two in 1980.
